gobbledegook

Very recently,
X: "......so then, I won't be loosing her?"
Me: Oh, come on..U arn't such a loser!
X( :O ) : I said, "then i wont be LOOSING HER"!
oops! reminded me of my aural dyslexia again! Throughout my KG nd high school, I mis-interpreted wateva i heard nd formed my own phrases. One classic example( a nursery rhyme):

Old king coal was a greedy cold sole
and a greedy cold sole was he
he called for his pipe, and called it scowl
and, he slept on his pillows three.

While actually, it was:

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.

Well, i figured out I wasn't the only one with this fault and began calling it "Freudian slip" later in high-school. Well, that was until I knew there happens to be word describing it : "Mondegreen". Digging deeper into the recesses of my mind I figured out some more of my very own(quite recent) mondegreens' ( Ginny-isms, shud i say? :P ).

1. "Watermelon this!"

{"What the hell is this? "}

2. "Come looks like its a thing gonna bake"

{ " Coz love is something u can't shake" ; from enrique's song "escape" (all apologies :P }

3. "one plus one make stew."

{ "one plus one makes two"}

This one gets interesting....there was no one at home nd me nd sis started cooking....so, my sis said "so, one plus one makes two, eh? Two's a crowd!" And I heard her as "one plus one makes stew"...haha..but it makes perfect sense rite?!?

4. " As it is."

{ " stand at ease"}...haha...durin those assembly sessions nd games periods :P :D

5. " Should we all die young?"

{" shook me all night."}...frm AC/DC's song.

6. "oooooooh harry potter!"

{"....asked the reporter."}

7."I'am your ire."

{"Iam your eyes."}..metallica's song "sad but true".

8." Is he dung?"

{" Is he drunk?"}...haha..apparently someone spoke rubbish...nd my frnd asked me "is he drunk?" nd i misconstrued it.

9."The world is so unfair."

{"The world out there."}

10."No other mother attracts me so much."

{"No other lover attracts me so much."}...gosh!

Hmmm...dats all i can remember...most of my mondegreen's were until 5th class...wen i couldn't even understand what they meant by day scholars(i came to know the spelling in 4/5th class)..nd always misheard most of the carols sung every sunday(it was a christian school nd wen i was in hostel, used to sing 'em!)...nd most of my nursery rhymes!Of course, misunderstood words/songs in telugu nd hindi too...but i can't remember them....do temme about ur mondegreens' as well!
